“A man is born upon the banks of the Indus,
where there is none to tell of Christ
And no one to read or write about him;
And all his inclination and his actions,
As far as human reason sees, are good;
He is without sin in word or deed.
He dies unbaptised and without faith:
Where is the justice in condemning him?
Is it his fault, if he does not believe?”
― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Dante Alighieri

“Want de confrontatie ermee betekende aanvaarding, en dat was de eerste stap naar de dag dat de pijn zou ophouden en de warme herinneringen zouden beginnen.”
― Thomas Olde Heuvelt, Hex

“Anyone who doesn't laugh has something on their conscience, you can be sure of that.

“What kind of persons writes fiction about the past?"
